Quake-related Information

Your nickname (story behind it)?

dex. Two sources. In school I was 'the man' when it came to actually doing stuff and learning, so I was once called 'Dexter' after the character from the cartoon and the name stuck, my friends shortened it for convenience. Another reason (though a lesser one) for it sticking was that I always play rogues in any RPG, so dex is the naturally high statistic.

Your Quake config (key bindings, etc.)?

Pretty boring. WSAD, z for recording, q/e/c/1/2/3/b/space for weapons, lmb for fire, rmb for jump. I use +speed.

Size of Quake directory on your HD?

Right now? Main directory is 5GB, then there's the quake folder I use for capturing demos. It's a whopping 32.6 gigabytes right now, for a total of almost 38 gigs. Yep.

Your computer (processor/videocard etc.)?

Core 2 Duo @ 2800, GeForce 8800GT, 2GB RAM.

Favorite speedrunning demo(s) from yourself (the one(s) that you're most proud of)?
